[&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9k\">For those who have been Nets fans for the past 50-60 years, they have seen a lot in both New York and New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>ABA Night<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9u\">The Nets have never won an NBA championship but they won two ABA championships, led by three-time ABA MVP Julius &#8220;Dr. J&#8221; Erving.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9z\">Erving remains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/nets\/onsi\/who-are-the-5-best-small-forwards-in-brooklyn-nets-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">one of the best players<\/a> in franchise history, as he was known for his incredible hang time and grace in the air.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a4\">Fans in attendance will receive a Dr. J bobblehead.<\/p>\n<p>80s Night<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ae\">The Nets got to the playoffs several times during the 80s with Buck Williams <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/nets\/onsi\/who-are-the-5-best-power-forwards-in-brooklyn-nets-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">leading the way<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aj\">New Jersey even defeated the defending champion Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 1984 playoffs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ao\">Fans in attendance will receive a Williams bobblehead.<\/p>\n<p>90s Night<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ay\">The Nets were an up and coming team in the 90s, with Dra\u017een Petrovi\u0107, Derrick Coleman and Kenny Anderson leading the way.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b3\">Tragically, Petrovi\u0107 passed away in a car accident, cutting short what would&#8217;ve been a lengthy, successful career.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b8\">Fans in

supposed to change their name to the Swamp Dragons in the 90s, but it was nixed at the last second.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bn\">The Swamp Dragons name would&#8217;ve been a great fit for the team&#8217;s identity at the times, given that the Nets played their home games in the swamps of the Meadowlands, where a ton of great memories were created.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bs\">Fans in attendance will receive a Swamp Dragons

notably the two that got to the Finals in 2002 and 2003.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c7\">Jason Kidd helped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/nets\/onsi\/who-are-the-5-best-point-guards-in-brooklyn-nets-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">change the trajectory<\/a> of this franchise the moment he joined the organization with his slick playmaking skills, leadership and defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cc\">Fans at the Meadowlands got to see a lot of magic created by J-Kidd, especially on alley-oop connections to Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ch\">Kidd and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/nets\/onsi\/who-are-the-5-best-shooting-guards-in-brooklyn-nets-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carter<\/a> carved out legendary careers in New Jersey, as both have their number retired by the Nets.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cm\">Fans in attendance will receive a 2003 Finals Mystery Box bobblehead.<\/p>\n<p>Hello Brooklyn Night<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\"
